MEC Mireille Wenger present Provincial Economic Review and Outlook

(Media Release: Issued and provided by the Western Cape Finance and Economic Opportunities)

On Thursday, 21 September 2023, Western Cape MEC of Finance and Economic Opportunities, Mireille Wenger, will table the Provincial Economic Review and Outlook (PERO) in the Provincial Parliament.

The tabling of the PERO kicks off the start of the annual budget cycle in the Western Cape, providing the data needed to inform policy responses and budget choices which will be shared when the Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement is tabled later this year.

The PERO contains key data trends on sectoral developments, labour market dynamics, and socio-economic development trends in the Province, contextualised within the broader national and global realities. 

This year, the PERO sets out impressive new data that further deepens the ability of the Western Cape Government to respond to trends that have emerged, equipping us with the evidence needed to make the right choices that generate economic growth and job creation.

Media are invited as follows:
Date: Thursday, 21 September 2023
Venue: Western Cape Provincial Parliament, 7 Wale St, Cape Town City Centre, Cape Town, 8000
Time: 10:00 (address begins)
